In 2019 which was one of the busiest years for the island, records revealed that over 952,000 people visited by ferry and another 37,933 tourists arrived by plane.
In contrast, Mykonos has a population of around 10,000, and now has over a million visitors every year.

Celebrities are also discovering the island; in 2021, Justin Bieber and his wife Hailey holidayed on Milos.
Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell as well as Jeff Bezos have been spotted there in recent years.
It's no wonder Milos is a popular spot for travellers, it has beautiful villas and boasts over 70 beaches.

There are also the Milos catacombs which are said to be some of the most important catacombs in the world.
This isn't the first time Milos has been brought to attention, it was also called the best island on the face of the planet by Travel + Leisure in 2021.
The publication asked readers to rate island destinations all over the world, as they looked to find the best one.
Milos nabbed top spot because of its "extraordinary tavernas and dozens of picturesque beaches."

To get to Milos from the UK, you'll need to fly over to Athens which you can do with EasyJet from £26.99.
You then have to take a second flight to the island which will take 40 minutes from Athens.
Or hopping on a ferry to Milos which takes between two and seven hours depending on whether there are other island stops along the way.

EXCLUSIVE How Justin Bieber could end up with HALF of Hailey's $1B Rhode cosmetics sale if they divorce
Justin Bieber could be entitled to a major payday from his wife Hailey Bieber 's massively successful cosmetics company if they should ever divorce. The 28-year-old model's Rhode cosmetics company was sold late last month to E.L.F. Beauty for a reported $1 billion, and a source close to the couple recently told that her friends and family are worried that the 31-year-old pop star could try to take advantage of her windfall to help cover his reported millions in debt. That's because the couple reportedly never signed a prenuptial agreement to determine how to split their assets up in the event of a divorce. Divorce Attorney and Certified Family Law Specialist Stephanie Blum - who does not represent either spouse - tells that, should the couple divorce amid concern for their marriage, Justin could walk away with half of Hailey's earnings from selling Rhode because of the lack of a prenup. A spokesperson for Hailey declined to comment when contacted by and a rep for Justin has not yet responded. 'Since Hailey founded Rhode cosmetics during the marriage, the money she receives for the sale would be considered community property and thus a court would order the monies divided equally between them,' Blum explains. However, it could be complicated by 'the extent the money she receives for the sale is tied to her future work efforts,' in which case 'that money should go to her,' which Blum says could lead to a fight in court over how the money should be allocated. Bieber had his own massive sale in December 2022, when he sold off nearly 300 songs from his catalog dating up to late 2021, which earned him a reported $200 million from the buyer, Hipgnosis Songs Capital. However, in the event of a divorce, Hailey might not have the same rights to that sum that he would have to her newly acquired fortune. According to Blum, 'If Justin's song catalog consists of songs written and recorded prior to marriage, the money he receives from selling off that song catalog would be considered his separate property.' However, that assumes that he kept those earnings separate. If he 'mixed it up with monies earned by the parties during marriage, there could definitely be some fights about how the money should be divided,' she says. Blum also notes that it is 'not common for people of Justin and Hailey's wealth and prominence to not have a prenuptial agreement.' People in similar situations can usually count on 'business managers and lawyers' to council them to get a prenup. Technically, Hailey's deal to sell Rhode is only for $800 million, but an extra payment of $200 million is on the table depending on how well the brand performs in the next three years after being acquired by E.L.F. Beauty But she might not receive anything from his $200M sale of his songs. 'If Justin's song catalog consists of songs written and recorded prior to marriage, the money he receives from selling off that song catalog would be considered his separate property,' Blum says That could upend the dynamic in the couple's wealth, as Justin may now be worth less than his wife. According to Celebrity Net Worth, the hitmaker is worth around $200 million, and Forbes reported that he was worth around $83.5 million in 2017, before the sale of rights to some songs. 'Without a prenuptial agreement, the lesser earning spouse is potentially advantaged if they get divorced, but of course no one has a crystal ball when they get married so it can be hard to tell which one of the spouses that will be!' Blum warns. 'Probably when they got married, Justin had greater wealth. Would anyone have anticipated that Hailey would end up being the richer spouse?' she adds. 'Probably not, but good for her.' The LA-based divorce attorney also notes that there could be a dispute between Hailey and Justin in a potential divorce if 'there ends up being a huge disparity in the amount of money' they each end up with, and if 'one of them continues to work while the other doesn't. A source close to the couple has revealed to the that Hailey's family and friends are worried that Justin might ' take advantage of her kindness.' They also feared that she might end up using her hundreds of millions from the sale of Rhode to wipe out her husband's alleged debts. 'Friends of Hailey are concerned that she has been so ride or die with Justin that she might get enveloped into bailing him out of financial struggles,' the insider told the Daily Mail. 'Without a prenuptial agreement, the lesser earning spouse is potentially advantaged if they get divorced, but of course no one has a crystal ball when they get married so it can be hard to tell which one of the spouses that will be!' Blum warns 'She is happy to help Justin in any way she can, but friends want her to look out for herself and Jack,' they added. 'They don't want to see Justin take advantage of her kindness.' The source added that Hailey hoped Justin would get back to making music and touring, rather than spending most of his time at home, as he has been doing lately. However, they said her friends feared that he might opt to rest on his reputation, in which case Hailey might not be able to 'take it anymore and [it will] end up being the catalyst of a future breakup.' Justin hasn't one out on tour since he canceled his Justice tour midway through in September 2022 after he fell victim to Ramsay Hunt syndrome, which temporarily caused him to suffer facial paralysis Although Hailey's deal for Rhode could be worth up to $1 billion, a finance expert recently claimed on TikTok that Hailey could end up making far less when accounting for payouts to investors and other company employees. Earlier this week, an insider revealed to the real reason the model had decided to sell her cosmetics company. Last month, Justin was widely criticized by fans after he admitted telling Hailey that she would never be on the cover of Vogue in order to hurt her during an argument. He made the bizarre revelation in a post intended to celebrate his wife for finally achieving a cover story on the magazine, and fans blasted him in the comments for sharing something he should have instead kept to himself. An insider subsequently revealed to that Justin and Hailey are regularly 'at each other's throats,' and the bruising argument the pop star described isn't out of the ordinary for them. Because of that earlier argument, fans were unmoved when Justin again tried to celebrate his wife's accomplishments by reposting a photo on Sunday that Hailey's Rhode Beauty products will soon be sold at Sephora locations. Instead of another take on complimenting his wife, Justin just left the caption blank this time, which only fueled further criticism in the comments section. Even his apparent attempt at a sweet conclusion to the bizarre post couldn't help but bring up the painful insult again. 'So baby u already know but forgive me for saying u wouldn't get a vogue cover cuz clearly i was sadly mistaken,' he wrote. Commenters on the post were shocked that he would admit to such behavior. Once user wrote that it was 'Giving Kanye,' and another added, 'A simple congrats would've been fine I fear.' Several fans suggested Justin should have just kept the argument a 'secret.' One person savaged him by commenting, 'brother you'll never beat the hates his wife allegations like this.' Another fan urged him to just 'put that phone down please.' In the wake of Justin's confession, fans of his wife highlighted past incidents in which he had allegedly displayed 'unsupportive behavior' toward his wife to contextualize the Vogue controversy. Some fans claimed that the disheveled way he often dresses for public events with Hailey betrays a lack of respect.

Millions of UK tourists visiting Portugal can use e-gates this summer
Faro Airport in Portugal has started the rollout of e-gate access to British arrivals, the UK Government has announced. Downing Street expects British holidaymakers will be able to use the technology in their 'millions', after Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer struck an agreement with EU leaders last month. Cabinet Office minister Nick Thomas-Symonds, whose brief includes EU relations, said at the despatch box on Thursday that the deal 'makes life easier for holidaymakers'. The Prime Minister's official spokesman said: 'Yesterday, Portugal opened e-gates at Faro Airport to British citizens, which will mean millions more Brits going to the Algarve will be able to use e-gates in time for the summer holidays.' 'We're obviously continuing to work with other countries and other airports to ensure Brits can use more e-gates as soon as possible and that work continues. 'It's obviously good news to see a very significant airport, I think for British holidaymakers, opening e-gates to British citizens yesterday.' When he unveiled the deal last month, Sir Keir said that 'for holidaymakers wanting to get out this summer, they will want to know that they can do so easily and without delay and chaos'. The Prime Minister called on 'all EU members states to help make this a reality without delay'. Since Brexit, UK nationals have been unable to use e-gates in most Schengen area countries. Passengers from the UK face warnings that passport controls on arrival at Portugal 'may take up more time, as the passport will have to be stamped and there are additional questions that may be asked by the border control officers', according to the Faro Airport website. The Government has said the deal will smooth over 'legal barriers to e-gates use for UK nationals', once a new stamp-free biometric Entry/Exit System (EES) launches, due in October this year. Taking a question about steps 'to improve relations with the EU', Mr Thomas–Symonds told the Commons: 'The historic deal that we signed with the EU on May 19 is in our national interests – good for bills, borders and jobs. 'It slashes red tape and bureaucracy, boosts British exporters and makes life easier for holidaymakers. 'Indeed, I'm delighted to confirm this morning that Faro Airport in Portugal will start the rollout of e-gate access to UK arrivals this week.'
